Wilton Manors has always been known for its vibrant spirit, inclusive community, and electric nightlife — and now, there’s a delicious new reason to gather in this welcoming neighborhood.
Bobby Blair is an LGBTQ media pioneer and leader known for his philanthropic work on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community. A Florida native, he lives in Fort Lauderdale with his longtime partner, Brian Neal. Blair was inducted into the GLBT Hall of Fame in 2015.

In a celebration of inclusion, community, and creativity, Plays of Wilton (POW!), in partnership with the City of Wilton Manors, will present an outdoor performance of The Sound of Music tailored specifically for the deaf and hearing-impaired.
Every June, the floodgates open: rainbow logos, Pride-themed merchandise, and flashy campaigns promising support for the LGBTQ community. For years, I welcomed it — cautiously. I believed visibility mattered. I still do. But now I’m asking a harder question: when the glitter settles and the hashtags fade, whose side are these corporations really on?
In 2025, the LGBTQ community finds itself navigating an increasingly hostile and complex digital landscape. Social media — once a beacon of connection, identity, and advocacy — has become a double-edged sword, simultaneously offering platforms for visibility while enabling a resurgence of hate, censorship, and systemic erasure.
The LGBTQ community has come a long way, but let’s be real — there’s still a lot of work to do. Every day, many of us still deal with barriers that make life harder than it should be. If you’ve ever wondered how you can help, you’re not alone — and the good news is, there’s a place for everyone to get involved.
